Hydro Boost leak?
- Thread starter crazycrew

No not at all. I had to do mine a few months ago. I went ahead and flushed the rest of the power steering fluid and did a complete flush on the brake fluid. My brake fluid was nasty brown for having only been used for 2 years. I felt an immediate difference in the pedal.
A couple good links.

I couldn't find the one to replace the entire hydroboost but it's out there somewhere. It was a pretty good write up if I remember correctly but it didnt pop up with the search. The hardest part of the hole thing is getting that clip off the brake pedal.

Thanks!
Call your local pick & pull places. I had mine go out, and got one with like 60k miles on it (mine had 260k) for like $50. Looks new, works like new.
They probably won't sell you the master cylinder, but I had no problem getting the booster. Way cheaper than I could find a new one, and I wouldn't trust a reman further than I could throw it (I have bad luck with remans, so used is prefered to reman for me).
This is what I intended to do, but wanted to at least have the part number to help their guy know if they had the right truck in the yard.
Thanks for the links.
I found out I had ~80 miles left on my extended warranty so its at the dealer. :woott:
